I liked Thunder Run a bit. Probably my second favorite at the park on my sole visit, after Chang. A bit rough, but vastly better in the front.

Did you notice that the back half of the train didn't have seats?
James Whitmore
I noticed that too. Maybe a rush to get a few laps in before the snow flies.

Then I'd have to agree with Mike. Definitely a front seat ride.

A rider report at Negative G says "the train was still waiting on some seating to be redone".

No mention of the company that did the work on Thunder Run - it was RMC.
Everything I have ridden that they've touched, I love...

I am so happy to see this and cannot wait to ride this next year. It's amazing to see the determination Ed Hart has to rebuild this park.
